GREENVILLE, S.C. —

A political attack ad by Right to Rise USA, the Super PAC that's backing Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential election, claims Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida spends more time campaigning than attending important hearings.

"Days after the Paris attacks, senators came together for a top secret briefing on the terrorist threat. Marco Rubio was missing, fundraising in California instead," the ad begins.

On the surface, this claim is true, but Truth Check has determined there is more to the story.

On Nov. 18, 5 days after the terrorist attacks in Paris, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee of which Rubio is a member, held a closed-door meeting to determine what role the U.S. should play. Rubio, as the ad claims, was at a fundraising event in Newport Beach, California and did not attend the classified briefing.

However, Rubio's campaign said the Florida senator, who also serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee, attended a classified briefing on the Paris attacks the day before his fundraising trip to California. A campaign spokesman said Rubio received more high-level information at that meeting than he would have received at the meeting he missed.

“Bush's team dishonestly omits that Marco is on the Senate's Intelligence Committee, where he attended the highest level briefings on the Paris attacks. No other candidate for president has received more classified Intelligence briefings or better understands the threats facing our nation today than Marco," Rubio campaign spokesman Alex Conant told WYFF News 4 Investigates in an email.

"Over the last 3 years, Rubio has missed important national security hearings and missed more total votes than any other senator," the attack ad continues.

The claim about Rubio missing more Senate votes than any other senator who is currently running for the White House is true.

According to government records, Rubio has missed 13.3 percent of all roll call votes during his Senate career. Ted Cruz runs a close second, missing 12.4 percent of votes. Former Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton missed 9.5 percent during her Senate career. Rand Paul of Kentucky has missed 4 percent, while Bernie Sanders of Vermont has missed 3.6 percent of votes.
